Rabbi Jacobson will discuss the following topics:
What is unique about the month of Kislev, and what lessons does it offer us?
Yud Tes Kislev
- Why is this day the Rosh Hashana of Chassidus?
- Why was Chassidus revealed in the later generations?
- What is the difference between “before Petersburg” and “after Petersburg”?
- What do we learn from this day?
- Why was there a heavenly accusation against the Alter Rebbe for teaching Chassidus?
- Should we be afraid to say a dvar torah at the Shabbos table lest the heavenly court indict us?
- How do we explain the Alter Rebbe’s analogy of Chassidus being like the most precious crown jewel being crushed to help save the life of the royal prince?
- How do you compare the Alter Rebbe’s spreading of Chassidus to other Kabbalists who taught Penimiyus HaTorah? Why did they not face resistance?
- Is Chassidus based on the Zohar and Kabbalah or is something entirely different?
- Is learning the Tanya compared to having a personal yechidus with the Alter Rebbe?
- What “second half” is necessary to understand Tanya?
- Can you appreciate Tanya without song?
- How did the Alter Rebbe deliver his teachings to us?
- What is a farbrengen and where did it originate from?
- What's the difference between a maamar and a sicha?
- What was the main teaching of the Maggid of Mezritch?
- What is a black Marie chariot and why was it sent for the alter rebbe?
- How did the Alter Rebbe win his court case; what evidence did he produce to exonerate himself?
- What lessons do we learn from living with the times, with this week’s Torah parsha?
- What is the inside story of the tribes’ jealousy of Joseph, and of Joseph’s fall and rise?
- What was the significance of Joseph’s dreams that he will rule over his brothers?
- How could the righteous tribes sell their brother into slavery?
